Survival Part 2

"Life is a mess"-Me

Prayer: “Protection”
Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
"Every man has to die sometime."-Me
Apology note: “I’m sorry... “
I’m sorry mama... I never meant to hurt you. I’m sorry for the things that I said, I’m sorry that Heuro is dead.  I’m sorry for the wrongs things that I’ve done, I’m sorry that your favorite son is gone. I’m sorry that he got shot; I wish everything that happened had not.  I’m sorry that I always fought; it was the only thing that made me cool. I’m sorry that I got kicked out of school. I’m sorry I was a fool. I’m sorry I never followed your rules. I’m sorry I never graduated from school. I’m sorry I was a fool. I wish I had listened to everything you said. If it wasn’t for me, Heuro wouldn’t be dead. He would still be right here, alive. I wish the pain from you I could deprive. I'm sorry...

                                                Wanted Poster:




What i learned most from this project is to always save your work, because this is the second time i do this. I posted it the first time but it only poasted half, so i had to redo the whole other half. I had lots of quite interesting things to say, But now i do not even have the time to write all of that, But i also learned that i love reading Bluford series.
I chosed song lyrics as a genre because i love writing songs and it relates to my theme because it talks abput survival.
Then i chosed  Prayer because i am religious and it relates to my theme because it talks about being prepared for survival.
Then i chosed Apology note because i thought it would be the easiest to write and it relates to my theme because it apologises for the wrong choices made by Martin Luna ,the main chararcter of the book, has made during his journey to survival.
Then i chosed wanted sign because i did not really like the other ones and it relates to my theme because it shows that Frankie was a bully to everyone which is true, but mostly a bully to Martin, so it relates to my theme because Martin have to survive him everyday.

"SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST"-Multi genre blog

Survival of the fittest
Dear Reader,
In this post, I’m going to talk about the book of “The fallen”. A boy named Martin faces conflict in his life; Mostly at home (On the streets) and at school. In school, he likes a girl named Vicky and she loves him, but the problem is that she’s Henry’s ex and he still loves her. So, he tries everything to make Martin look bad in front of everyone mostly her. But, it doesn’t work and they become enemies. Also, on the streets, Martin is part of a gang but after his brother (8 years old, Heuro) death caused by the gang problems, he decides to leave the group. But one can never leave their past. So the gang chase him down and the head master is Frankie (A 19year old, Martin is only 16 and so is the rest of the gang). Then, one night Frankie decides to come for Martin to kill him; but earlier that day Martin had been warned by his bestfriend whom was also one of the gang members, Shago. So, he was prepared for it and when they came. Shago was there and saved his life by not telling Frankie he had seen him hiding behind the door when they got to his house and his mother wasn't there. But soon Frankie had realized it was all a lie and decided to take his gun and go shoot Martin in his room. But as soon as Frankie entered the room, for Martin had heard him coming.  Martin took his dead brother (Huero)'s bat to smack Frankie on his arm and broke it. Then Frankie was helpless until the police came and took him away. The rest of the gang had a chance to flee because martin let them; For, they were still "brothers". Martin was just mad at Frankie for causing all the problems in his life. Problems of fear and survival.
                                                            Sincerely,
                                                                                                Vincent.

                                                      Song: Survival of the fittest (ORIGINAL)

Survival of the fittest
I (Martin Luna) had no eye-witness
And everyone around me  bearing  false witness

My mother, alikeness
Tried to provide for me,
With no bare bitterness

But I  was too busy at school,
Trying to hold my life,
From falling off the rim,

I never followed the rules
Always carrying a knife
With me,

In case of a fight
Without a delight
I  was never  polite.

And at Home,
I  had problems with Frankie,

For he had caused the death of my brother
And the pain of my mother 

So i couldn't just sit back and rest
I had to be the survival of the fittest .
                                   
                                                   
"Death is natural and necessary, but not just. It is a random force of nature; survival is equally accidental. Each loss is an occasion to remember that survival is a gift."-McBryde Johnson

My Greatest Acheivement

My greatest acheivement is when i was only 8years old and i turned a back flip. It was pretty amazing how it earned me some respect from my friends when i was a kid. But that kind of stuff doesnt inspire most people these days. I learned it from a japanese trainer at "ye-yo-yao-e" located in yaounde where i am from. But ever since then, its been a while i've turned a back flip, i don't know why, i guess i've just been too busy these days, plus i don't see "yet" how it could ever help me in real life. Except maybe if i become a stunt artist, but me? i have no interest in that sort of job. Well, sure i'll like to be famous, most people i know would too. But its not every actor thats famous, and most of them don't even like their jobs from what i've heard. And sometimes you got to do some crazy things to "make it big", and i dont want none of that. If i ever have an oportunity to become famous, i want it to be the clean way, i dont want to have to sacrifice anything or anyone thats important to me. But anyways, becoming an actor, is not on my list. I'd rather be a town doctor that gets paid a lot of money. i don't want drama in my life. Sure it'll be amazing and fun, but sometimes in life, not everything as to be amazing and fun. I'm getting off track here, but i think i got the perfect lenght and timing for my blog. So, i'll stop here. See yall Next time..
